I felt lousy this morning. Not a big surprise since I am back to real life again, but still annoying.  I wanted to get in a decent medium workout but my body was rebelling.  I did the best I could considering it was a "3 star" workout.  The workout was the Providence - Millville Hills loop.  3 mile warmup, 6 miles hard (Tinman Tempo effort) then 3 miles cooldown.  The faster miles were: 7:54 (big hill), 6:29, 6:13, 6:10, 6:20, 6:13.

Medium Workout Day - 

I was tired of running in traffic and didn't feel like 1.5 hours of running on city roads so I drove up to Blacksmith Fork Canyon (mile 14 of TOU) and headed up the canyon.  For the first time EVER, there was no wind up or down.  Weird.  I was able to hit a pretty fast warmup going up the canyon staying under 7 min pace.  I did 5 warmup then did 10 x 3 min hard, 1 min easy.  Goal pace was half marathon pace (5:50) to get a better feel of it.  I forgot how much it hurts to run fast (my memory is lacking).  Other than some stomach issues again today, the run went pretty well.  I was working pretty hard though and doubt that I can hold the goal pace for the whole half marathon distance.  Bring on race day magic!

Pace for the hard intervals

  1. 5:55 (up hill)
  2. 6:03 (slightly steeper uphill)
  3. 5:45 (now the rest are down the canyon)
  4. 5:48
  5. 5:45
  6. 5:46
  7. 5:45
  8. 5:54
  9. 5:44
  10. 5:38

Finished with 1.5 mile cool-down to the car

T-1:25:20 (6:33) (164 ave) (low 170's for the intervals)

8 REALLY slow miles today.  Those big workouts sure take a lot out of me.  I just limped along and was content with my 8:30 miles.

Long run with Jon and Paul.  Paul took us on a tour of the famous Hyde Park Hill.  Nasty.  My legs are pretty tired after jumping from the mid 50's to 75 miles this week, plus this long run is 4 more than I have done this year to date.  I survived it, but it wasn't anything special.  No heroric effort or anything.  It was good to run with the guys though.  I was feeling a bit of tendonitis in my previous injury spot yesterday during the day, but it felt fine today.  I will have to watch it close this next week to make sure it is ok.  In all, it was a good week of training.  I feel like I can put together a good half marathon at this point, but not a full.  But I still have time for that...a bit.

The best part of today though is that it is BETHANY and LILY's (my daughter) birthday!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
